Dodge Ram Rebel TRX Concept – Body Styles Changes and other Options

This concept model has a stylish exterior profile as its entire body features a chiseled look. Although this TRX Concept shares the DNA of RAM 1500, it has received several mods that project a new distinctive look.

Up front, RAM’s iconic signature grille has received extra chrome accents and is fully blackened. Small air vents now surround the headlights. The two hooks, LED daytime running light and RAM badge share the color highlights of the body.

Its hood is entirely different from standard RAM 1500 as it has been aggressively sculpted. Dodge has also revised its aerodynamically shaped fender flares and skid plate.

Interior:

The interior cabin of this Dodge Ram Rebel TRX Concept features specially designed suede seats that have cloth upholstery. Leather upholstery may come as an option. Also, a 6 point racing harness is presented in every seat for safety.

Chassis and Suspension:

As this TRX Concept is based on Ram 1500, it uses the standard (stock) frame. What’s new is the custom control arms at the front and internal bypass shocks at each corner which uses new springs. With these changes, the suspension travel is full 13 inches.

Moreover, this increased suspension travel also opens up space for a massive 37 × 13.5-inch tires which improve off-road capabilities. As to the brakes, 6 piston calipers have been added on both front and rear discs.
